Hi David,
You don't explicitly say so, but I assume you're using the CGI module?
In which case, use the appropriate named param() subroutine to fetch the
value(s) submitted. Something like this:
my $selection = param('host_tech_file_selection');
if ($selection) {
# do something with $selection and generate response
}
else {
# print form
}
See 'perldoc CGI' for more info.
